You would never see the flags looking like this at an Olympiad

Still better than  latest nation league in Asia, where challenge and electricity failed. Things happened haha. Good for synchronized swimming than have arena mostly sold out

Well, I hope their powerhouse will be enough for fill our house in Budapest because we will need all the help we can get to fill the stadium at the World Championships.  Hopefully thousands of Polish fans will come. It's kinda ridiculous that Hungary will host the WCh in Central Europe instead of Poland, we care waaaay less about athletics.  

I will be there :D if Flixbus will take me xd

Greetings from Paris, everyone!!! We are having our private pre-olympic experience! What a city this is!!! These will be great Games!

Oh you are without paris syndrom?;) this city for me makes a great impression too.

Maybe it's  a chance for Hungary, Pachl with amazing score 75.430% - 225 points  and probably some points added for level of competition. Brawo:)! Lovely score for other riders Yov Tov, Cichoń, Sobierajska over 70%

Iga ❤️

She is absolutely amazing. I hope she will have a medal for our country in Paris 2024 during OG.

Oh come on. Rain had nothing to do with Sobierajska's poor ride. Pachl was in heavy rain too, and today Sobierajska just replicated her performance and got scored more appropriately (64%, but yesterday the German judge Elke Ebert was spot-on with 62% ).

 

I truly hope Zaneta Skowronska-Kozubik makes the team for Paris instead of some other fancy names who could get their hands on more quality horses. She is the one who delivered this quota to Poland after all.

Hehe, chose one thing from this, and you had still problem with our qualification, not admitting ours problems, highlighted one bad start. Thanks for your congratulation😉 We had many MER Stremler, Skowrońska, Safronova could make a team for Paris. Still  we had Szulc, Sobierajska, Cichoń, Jura. Who knows what with Milczarek she is fighting with antidoping commision.

Poland qualifies by virtue of making much, much fewer mistakes.

 

In all honesty a very boring outcome. It would have been much more fun to get a new nation for this very uncompetitive spot.

I see, you have some problems with our athletes in this sport. It was not easy we had many problem (Stremler - Injury, Milczarek  - stupid doping because some medecines for women's problems, private problems of Szulc, selling second GP level horse Stremler,  not shorter time for Safronova for representing our country, quite huge Rain during Sobierajska performance. Stremler before London was a great athlete she had many invitation from host of biggest events, and now she had young horse. Skowrońska was better than Katinaite and Sysoeva last season. Lithuania could participate here as Estonia. Who knows how it will look like before 2028.  Now we have a Sobierajska, Stremler, Szulc, Jura, Skowrońska  with MER and Cichoń and Safronova 1/2 MER. Great job for polish team today it was not easy because all this problems. Hungary could take Toth or better horse for Jov Tov. It's  really important for our equestrian to join this olympic level.

Riding during strong rain is not nice Now Aniko has a big  chance for killing polish hopes.

Literally zero articles about this event in Hungary, nobody cares that we got a chance to qualify for this event for the first time ever, despite the fact that we are hosting the qualifier. 

I think being host help you tomorrow also

Huh looks like the Hungarian team got weaker. Toth is out and Yom Tov went for an 8-year old Konfucius with only one previous GP.

 

Toth will be replaced by Szokola, who is unreliable at best. He has been scoring as high as 68.5% (2021 Europeans), but also as low as 63% last month. Konfucius must be either a late replacement or a secret weapon.

I guess the competition will be tighter than it seemed. Maybe it will come down to Komjathy-Losonczy whose scores have been also unsteady lately. Who knows? At this point I even wonder if Israel can do something insane and steal the prize.

Yes. Thats possible.... Ahorner got a talented horse from Stremler but should be easy pick for Hungary

Official polish team after inspection. All fine.

It goes to the highest ranked athlete in this event not yet qualified

But it's  like 24 places ( round 5 plus repachage 5) and how to determinate places 25-30 from repachage 4

Surfer must be in Top 30 to gain quota? What if no?

So no Lithuania sadly. Looks like Sysojeva's ride was not ready to compete so that's that. Often the undoing of small teams.

Also no Stremler for Poland.

So overall it is looking very, very good for Hungary. Especially with Toth and Pachl on the team.

Stremler injury

Pachl Toth and Tov has better best scores from this season than Sobierajska Jura and Skowronska.

A little chance for us now....

First day of the event, and no big surprises. Apart of Mirna Boelsma  and Zoe Steyn  who didn't advance and are already in the repechage rounds.

Great news for Sarah Baum  who is by far the favorite for women's african quota.

Highlight also to  surfer, who won his heat! 

Laraja, can you tell me how this works? 2 athletes goes to final in each round?

Congratulation for Latvia, it's  sth huge beat Usa in ice hockey during World Champs.

Finally some new polish athletes in Paris. Bravo. I hope our dressage team will win thie also,  but show jumping team for me is without chance (Czech, Turkey, Israel, Hungary).

I thought it will be harder for us....

Anyone know if we'll have a livestream for the XCO at the 14.30?

ClipHorse.TV (not for free). And polish SwiatKoni https://www.swiatkoni.pl/equestrian-festival-baborowko---live but probably without commentary
